Short: Convert Protracker-Packers back to Protracker Author: Nicolas FRANCK (Gryzor) Uploader: lauly cnam fr Type: mus/misc Version: 2.20 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Pro-Wizard is a MULTI-CONVERTER for Amiga music-files packed with tools like NoisePacker, ProPacker, ProRunner, and so on... It reconverts all these weird formats in the standard PROTRACKER format ! Written by Nicolas FRANCK (Gryzor) (Nico is my first name too ! B-) Binary only. P R O - W I Z A R D - 2 I S S H A R E W A R E ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IT NEEDS KICKSTART 2.04+ (V37+) !! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some of the New Features in this v2.20: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * The main-window re-sizing routine was FINALLY corrected ! * The confirmation requester when you abort a scan is now optional. * Bug fixed in several formats recognition/conversion. * One new recognized format: Hornet Packer. * 600kb of documentations (AmigaGuide, English & French) linked together. * Pro-Wizard will warn you now, if it finds a TRUNCATED module ! * The limit of 99 files in MultiFiles-Mode has been broken !! ==> 999 :) * When Pro-Wizard saves an xpk-packed module, it now prints its unpacked size, packed size, and the compression factor ! (or just its size if the module was not packed...). * The prefixes of each packed formats are user-editable !! Those used to save the Original (Packed) Modules, but also those inserted in the DOS_Comment of each saved module. * The internal "Help-Mode" was totally re-written !! I have removed all the help-texts which were taking so many bytes in the exe-file and I have replaced them with an ON-LINE AMIGAGUIDE HELP feature !! Furthermore, both English and French doc-files are recognized ! Enjoy ! * Now, you can change the tool-priority of Pro-Wiz for the next scans. * New optional function : Edit FileComment ! Which, of course, allows you to edit the DOS_Comment built by Pro-Wizard for each converted & saved module. * And while we're talking about the FileComments, you can now choose what informations Pro-Wiz will insert in them ("Ripped & Converted by...", the Original Filename, the Original FileComment, or nothing :) ) * The Load & Save Pathes are now remembered and saved in the Prefs ! You will be able to choose the Loading Path, the Saving Path (modules), the Saving Path (samples) and the AmigaGuide On-Line Helpfile ! * And as you may have wondered what was this "Saving Path (samples)", yes! New feature : Saving of all the samples from a just converted mod ! Read the full doc for more details. * And, about this feature, you can obviously choose between RAW & IFF-8SVX, and between "No Names" & "Real Names" ! * Other new interesting feature : Pro-Wizard can now PLAY the modules !! Thanks to the "ptreplay.library" by Mattias Karlsson, still bugged a bit but I've arranged the problems... By the way, read carefully the doc about this new PLAY function ! * You can also choose the Protracker Prefix used for saving the converted modules, and this is apart from the other Prefix'list. You'll have the choice between "mod.", "Mod." and "MOD." * And last but not least, you can now run Pro-Wizard with some arguments !! Yeeaahhh ! This allows you to make a little "Pro-Wiz" button in DOpus. ;) In this argument-mode, Pro-Wizard loads and scans the specified file AUTOMATICALLY !! And you can set 3 optional switches to make some other events automatic too, like auto-exit, auto-save the Status-Window texts before exiting, and even auto-convert the found modules without having to click on "Convert" in the first requester, etc... Fun or what ?? :) Bonus Programs: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * ChipSaver 1.82 by The Cyborg/NGC, which offers a niiiice GUI ! ;) * New Deli-Wizard, of course, with the same bugfixes as in Pro-Wiz, and with the new format... * New version of "ModInfo" which now uses xpkmaster.library directly ! And which needn't unpack the whole module anymore !! Just the beginning. * New Bonus-Program : RemoveMarks ! Whose job is to remove the marks inserted by DMS and/or SUPERDUPER when they make bigfiles from all the track of a disk. ...and many other features in the previous releases, read the history file !
